MOPED ARMY

I checked those items real well.

I'm gonna for sure need tire chains for the Winter. I'm a hardcore rider!

And yep, the carb belt looks real good.

Gonna check both muffler bearings once i see it.

Thanks bro!

Bring a bamboo skewer with you the kind they make really big kabobs on and you open up the tranny port and work it all the way to the bottom of the engine case and then pull it up look at the very bottom and make sure there isn't a whole bunch of metallic Grit and check the fluid level the only way to check the clutch pads is actually look at them and they're not going to let you cuz you'll have to pull the transmission cover but if you Lexia take it for a ride make sure you go down a steep hill and let off the gas and see if the one way bearing works if it doesn't your chain will pop off also make sure you can climb a hill with it if the pads are worn at won't climb a hill the A35 I feel is a sturdy platform but an A 3 well work just fine if you get a side shot intake also an A3 is actually a better transmission but it is not interchangeable with an A35 without major mods but can run kits with a piston made 4 A3 or you can swap out your Conrad now if you get a t t l x then you can run puch kits on it with the angle port and have an A five five intake work for the carb and a magnum pipe or such an angle port puch pipe but you will find that if you have a step through it won't work for the angle ports your carb is going to hit the petcock every time

Look for the black wheel of death .

Tomos are notorious for seal leaks on the chain side.

Any oil , you should walk or at least know how to repair it.

Tomos also like to shear teeth on the main gear

The engine should run smooth with no clanking or jangly noises.

Same with the roller bearings.

If you look at a kick start, make sure it operates properly.

The springs and the cases all have major issues.

Look for cracks or missing pieces around the kick start lever.

Make sure it engages smoothly and fully retracts .

Get a cheap bore scope off ebay and pull the spark plug.

Peep into the cylinder and look for scoring , bluing , or gouges.

Do a compression test too.

Under 100 bail .

All signs of impending doom .

Plus , these are tools you will need when you get sucked into the world of mopeds

Having rebuilt my share of Tomos engines, I would not buy one unless the price was very low , mileage was low , and the owner brags how well the bike was cared for while allowing a full inspection .

For some reason , every Tomos i get my hands on from that era , has major issues and I've owned my share.

The good part is that they are easily serviced, run pretty well , and can zip up to 40 MPH without much effort or extra cost.
